Benefits of technology

[0004]Home game consoles, such as Sony PlayStation™, Nintendo Wii™, and Microsoft X-box™, are generally connected to a display device and a game controller. The display device is used to display the game, and the controller is used to control the game. However, it is inconvenient for users to bring both the display device and the game controller along with the game console to another location.

Embodiment Construction

[0007]Referring to the drawing, a game controller 1 is connected to a game console 2 for interfacing with a game. The game controller 1 can also project game images onto a surface such as a projection screen or wall. The game controller 1 includes an input unit 10, a video access unit 20, a projection unit 30, an angle detection unit 40, and a processing unit 50.

[0008]The input unit 10 generates control signals corresponding to user input for playing the game.

[0009]The video access unit 20 receives video signals through wired or wireless communication from the game console 2.

[0010]The projection unit 30 includes a lens module 31 and a driving module 32. The lens module 31 projects images corresponding to the received video signals onto the surface. The driving module 32 can adjust the projection direction of the lens module 31.

[0011]The angle detection unit 40 detects a tilt angle of the game controller 1. In the embodiment, the angle detection unit 40 is a gyroscope.

[0012]The proce...

Abstract

A game controller connected to a game console includes an input unit, a video access unit, a projection unit, an angle detection unit, and a processing unit. The input unit generates control signals according to user input for controlling games. The video access unit receives video signals from the game console. The projection unit includes a lens module to projects game images onto a projection surface and a driving module to adjust the projection direction of the lens module. The angle detection unit detects a tilt angle of the game controller. The processing unit controls game play according to the control signals and generates an adjusting signal including a change of the tilt angle. The adjusting signal is sent to the driving module to adjust the projection direction of the lens module.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present disclosure relates to game controllers, and particularly, to a game controller capable of projecting game images onto a surface.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Home game consoles, such as Sony PlayStation™, Nintendo Wii™, and Microsoft X-box™, are generally connected to a display device and a game controller. The display device is used to display the game, and the controller is used to control the game. However, it is inconvenient for users to bring both the display device and the game controller along with the game console to another location.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS[0005]The components of the drawing are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of a game controller with projection function.[0006]The drawing is a block diagram of a game controller according to an exemplary embodiment.DETAILED DESCRIPTION[0007]Referring to the drawing, a game contro...
